Councillors dress up as prostitutes in miniskirts and stockings in bid to shame men who stop to pick up roadside sex workers in Italy

    

                                                        

Mayor Dimitri Russo and councillors Anastasia Petrella and Stefania Sangermano staged the set-up after growing tired of the damaging effect prostitution had on their town of Castel Volturno, near Naples in Campania. The stunt saw Ms Petrella and Ms Sangermano dress in miniskirts with revealing tops and high heels, and stand by a busy road popular with local prostitutes. But when punters would stop for the fake prostitutes, they were confronted by the mayor and a cameraman, leaping out from behind parked cars.
